Of all the baby groups we’ve tried I found these singing sessions really authentic. There were no gimmicks, great lyrics and songs, really inclusive and personalised with the animals and Charlotte always called everyone by name. A welcoming and informal vibe but organised and well planned

I cannot recommend this class enough. It has been absolutely amazing right from the very beginning. Lowri has thrived. Singing with the other parents has been incredible. Charlotte you are a wonderful bundle of energy and it just lights up the week. Seeing Lowri sing the songs at home, and how it affects her after class - randomly at home she’ll just sing songs or act them out, even the songs the parents are singing. It is just so wonderful. For anyone thinking of coming, just give it a try, even if you’re not a confident singer don’t worry, Charlotte makes everyone feel welcome and adapts it to make it easier. Maybe you will find a passion you didn’t know you had!

ABOUT A class for babies and toddlers where you AND your little one get to develop a skill and make friends! This class is perfect if you are a parent, carer or grandparent and want to relax, laugh and feel supported among people who understand. Listening to singing and taking part in music-making helps you and your baby develop many skills and nurtures intelligence, as well as helping with emotional regulation and bonding. You will feel the difference each session and as the months unfold.

Dear baby,
​
Please ensure you read through carefully and sign your agreement at the bottom.
​
-
The most important thing at baby music is hiding behind the curtain and falling off the sofa. Please ignore everything else
-
Please ensure you eat other children's food, or at least put your hand in it
-
Drinking from someone else’s cup is also essential and, as we all know, tastes so much better than your own. If you can’t see one, get one out of someone else’s bag
-
Under no circumstances must you pass the ball, regardless of whether the song tells you to
-
When eating crisps please empty them all over the floor for other little ones to tread on and eat
-
During your weeks at baby music it is essential at some point to either climb on Charlotte, or chew her knee
-
When the green bag appears, sit as close to it as possible, or preferably stand right in front of it to make sure none of those other babies who can’t walk (suckers!) can see
-
Always take more than one animal, preferably three, you never know when you might need a spare chihuahua/sloth/baboon to hand
-
Please ensure you bring a leaf/dandelion/other squashed greenery to class but under no circumstances show any interest in taking it home with you
-
Make sure to run round the room during the standing songs, preferably spinning around in the centre while laughing manically
-
NEVER hide the honey jar from the bear, and do make sure you cry until your big person takes the lid off. If possible, grab hold of the bear and SQUEEZE HARD
-
Run up and down the room and trip over the rug at least once every week
-
Make sure you attend regularly for a good grounding in the noises that all animals make; for instance salamanders, zebras and ostriches. This is an essential part of your development and will equip you for life
​
I agree to the above.
